Sweet. I had swithered (Scottish word, if you don't know it: http://caledonianmercury.com/2010/03/14/useful-scots-word-swither/003379) about whether or not to add compat symlinks in sbin, but if there are only a few things affected, it's better to fix them at source. Two points however: 1. As we are post-usrmove, /usr/bin/poweroff should be preferred to /bin/poweroff 2. We should really attempt to port kdm to logind. This will give true automatic multi-seat support and will allow proper management of shutdown and such like procedures without relying on legacy/compat binaries. If anyone is willing to help on this porting effort, I probably arrange some multi-seat h/w through upstream contact (e.g. little USB devices you plugin that gives you an extra keyboard+mouse+screen). I'll try and speak with upstream about it too, but if someone wants to do some kdm hacking from this end, that would be nice!
